My First Attempt Of Fish Tank Please Look :) And Eggs

Looks good. How big is the tank? Do you have a spare tank or divider? One the fry hatch out the males will sometimes eat the fry to make the female breed again so after the fry are free swimming they sometimes need to be removed or separated.
 
i find that they make good
parents the only time they
eat there fry is if they
feel threatened by other tank mate

The tank is 180ltrs/47gallon<< i think I know its defo 180 ltrs not sure how many gallons. Im hoping the fry would stay in there till a nice size. i do have a tank but its very small if i had to remove from their it could be 1 of the pearent to fit in that tank. I dont want to divide my tank. Doesnt look nice :) hopefully the male is responsible and looks after them properly

Yes hopefully. Do you think my tank has enuf hiding spaces is it safe enuf? i thought i would be ok? if the fry when older dont go in their territory?
 
Nice tank and well done breeding the convicts. you could do with some more hiding places though :look:

How can i make some hiding places..? i aint going to buy no oranaments... ive spend so much money on ornaments from my local pet stores, The paint always seems come off in the water and they look ugly. I want somethink fish can hide in but no plants, But may buy ornaments online if they are decent

What about some wood?
You can get bog wood from a LFS or collect some from the woods. It needs to be a type of hard wood. I use alot of oak. The bark needs to have falling or be falling off. You just have to sand it down and soak it before adding it to the tank.

Or if you eat lots of coconuts like I do (I don't), then you could make some coconut caves with the coconut shells :look: :D :p
